This is more as a curiosity, but for those that really like the English language as I do, do you ever think of how we got our words? I know that every language was evolved from the ones before it, but why are things named the things they are? Why is a baseball bat a baseball bat? Why is the sky called the sky?

There are many origins to our language. Words took form from early languages and then many have Latin roots too.Words just were made to mean things that people wanted to communicate and so now a baseball bat is called a baseball bat. Our language actually came from Anglo-Frisian dialects. This can be dated by as early as the 5th centuries!
